The Maharashtra authorities approached the Supreme Court on Tuesday difficult the Bombay High Court’s order directing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to hold out preliminary probe into former Mumbai Police Chief Param Bir Singh’s allegations in opposition to ex-Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
Terming the case as ‘extraordinary and unprecedented’, the High Court had requested the CBI to finish the probe inside 15 days, after which the CBI director is at liberty to take additional plan of action.
Three days after he was eliminated as Mumbai Police Commissioner and posted to the Home Guards, Singh wrote an eight-page letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, alleging that Deshmukh requested how suspended and arrested assistant police inspector Sachin Waze to gather Rs 100 crore each month, together with Rs 40-50 crore from 1,750 bars and eating places in Mumbai.
The HC handed the ruling on prison PIL by former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, looking for a CBI probe in opposition to Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh for alleged malpractices together with different two PILs looking for an unbiased probe.
Following the High Court’s order, Anil Deshmukh had tendered his resignation to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
Deshmukh is the second minister within the MVA authorities to resign beneath a cloud — Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Rathod resigned as Forest Minister on February 28 after he was linked to the dying of a 22-year-old lady in Pune. State Minister of Labour and Excise Dilip Walse-Patil, an in depth confidant of Pawar who has served as his private assistant, is the brand new Home Minister.
